Grain without water.

Items like the following sboy
how the possibilities of this Stat,
are being figured out. The Walker
Lake Bulletin says:
'Last Wednesday the Bulletin
mentioned stool of matured bar
ley which George Box found in
| Hawthorne district. During the
week just passed Ed. DeGroff found
both barley and wheat fully ripened
on the burnt sagebrush fiat some
miles South of town. The heads
were well filed, and when shelled
out the grains were plump, and of
the grade which would be rated in
the market as first class. A short
time ago Sam Kelso found near
Marietta a stool of wheat just be-
ginning to ripen, in which there
were thirty-seven stalks. The
grain found in widely distant locali-
ties has grown to maturity without
irrigation. Dropped by some trav-
eler it has luckily escaped the rab-
bits long enough to show that there
are agricultural possibilities in this
section, the mention of which some
years ago would simply have ex-
cited ridicule. It would certainly
not be advisable for anyone to be-
gin on too large a sale, but the
probabilities are so favorable that
an experiment on a limited area,
say 40 acres, will probably be made
next year. It is understood that |
each acre of land titled in this
country helps the neighboring titled |
and in retaining moisture, and in |
attracting rain and the ripening of |
he first field of grain grown with
put irrigation will result in the Gull
aviation of miles of sagebrush flats,
which are now only useful as homes
or rabbits, gophers and coyotes.

Some Ludicr0us Billiard Play.
ing i'm SAN Francisco.
| When Jim Orndorff was in The
city few days ago be gave a very
characteristic account of the fun
occassioned by two Jews who
played billiards at the Baldwin.
Although good friends, the moment
they cross cues over billiard table,
they intensely hate each other.
The rivalry is SO strong that each
would almost as soon lose his right
hand as a game of billiards, said
Orndorff. "When one man leaves
the balls SO that the other has a
dead shot, he refuses to look on and
see the shot made, but deliberately
turns his back to save his feelings,
and when he hears the balls click,
bleeds inwardly.
"When two balls are slowly
crossing each others path and the
meeting is uncertain, the two men
bend over the table and indulge in
the most outlandish contortions.
The man who wants the balls to
touch is throwing his body forward
at the balls and the other is screw
ing and twisting into all manner of |
shapes to pull the balls apart. |
It's better'n circus and the shapes
those men twist themselves into
beat any contortionist I ever saw.
The minute they begin their game
who is on to the combi-
nation crowds about the table to see
the fun.
"The shouts of laughter that go
up warn the players that they are
The subject of ridicule and they try
70 assume an air of dignity and in
but they can't do that
more than a minute and they are
yoing through the same contortions
utterly oblivious of the fact that
several hundred people are in con-
7ulsions over them"

The Spud Question.

The Nevada Stockmen gives the
editor of this paper credit for an
article on the Navada spud, which
appeared in the APPEAL some days
ago. The credit properly belongs to
Mr.. James Townsend as the article
comes from his instructive pen.
While James is busy writing steam
boats etc., his agricultural eye
never fails to take in anything that
may be Of benefit to the State or
anything which allies thrift to her
prosperity and progress.

Mrs. Bowers predicts that the
Fall and Winter will witness a very
strong and healthy stock market
with new discoveries. That in 1888
some curious political events will
take place which will astonish the
people. Thai Jim Fair has more of
an interest in the Comstock than
anybody dreams of and that he will
yet become reconciled to his family
and die surrounded by his wife and
children, while his two scape-grace
sons will reform and become hon.

FXTRAYAGANCE.

The reason why many Of US are
not laying by in store for rainy days
of infrmity and old age, is because
We do not save what we make. Or
TO put the statement more succinctly,
we are practicing extravaganza in
stead Of economy in expenditures.
Many of US are inclined to, and do
spend great deal of hard earned
money more for appearance sake
than because our actual needs de-
mand it. In short, in many of our
expenditures we often suffer our bet
ter judgment to be oyer-ridden by
what is generally termed public opin-
ion. We strive with limited means
to dress and move through the world
on scale with those possessed of
much more ample fortune. This is
nothing more nor less than extrava-
gance fostered and nurtured by vain
pride that should never be permitted
to have supremacy over any man,
and especially one who has to labor
tor means to catel to its demands.
This very thing of itself has caused
the waste of hundreds and thousands
of dollars for the young men of our
land, which money they made by la
Dor and toll. 1t is doing the same
thing to-day, and will continue to do
the same until the men of our coun-
try refuse to be any longer subjects
Of its dominion. We would cast no
reflections, but we assert as a truth,
that vast deal too many Of us have
become worshippers at the shrine Of
extravaganza and have apparently
lost all faith in economy. Herein
lies the reason why so many of us
who work and work diligently, have
to say at the close of each year that
We have made nothing.

PAYING FOR MONEY AND GETTING
CHEATED.

root of all evil. So great is that love
in a majority Of cases, that almost
any price is paid for it. We propose
briefly to discuss the matter and
show that money, like other things,
is often bought too dearly.
When man in pursuit of wealth
sacrifices moral principle in order to
insure success, he gets cheated.
When he bursues a business, how
ever remunerative, which he knows
is undermining his health, he gets
cheated.
When he habitually devotes SO
many hours to labor that he has no
time to give to his family and friends,
to reading, mental and moral culture,
he gets cheated.
When he makes money by rum
selling, or amy other traffic which
works mischief in the community, he
gets cheated.
When he ignores sail outside mat
ters,' and is determined TO make
money anyhow, leaving religion, pol
itics, friends, benevolent objects, and
Everybody to take care of them
selves" he gets cheated.
When he finds making money in
his fashion excludes him from the
society of all truly good men, he gets
cheated.
When he is determined, in old age,
TO give himself no rest or relaxation,
but work on, grasping for more, more,
more, he gets cheated.
When he has money enough to sat
isfy any reasonable being, and should
haul in sail and devote some of his
best time and energies to doing good
but won't do it and works on-he
gets cheated
When he finds his hard earned
wealth is iniuring both himself and
family, that his children are growing
up in ignorance and idleness and
they are all good for nothing" to
the world, it is evident that, he has
been cheated.
When his devotion to money max
ing cost him restless nights, i'll health,
loss of appetite, bad temper, envy
and Jealousy, the growth of pride,
idolatry of gold, stingy or sour dis
position, and the hatred or indiffer-
ence of good society, all we have to
say is, even if he has gained the
whole world, he has got abominably
cheated.
Don't, therefore, pay too much for
money. 1t will not furnish you all
you desire. 1t will not insure you
good health. 1t will not enrich your
mind. 1t will not enrich the heart.
1t will not deliver you from danger.
1t will not follow you beyond the
grave. 1t will not save your soul.
Don't, therefore, we pray you, in
getting gold sacrifice your principles,
your health, your friend, your good
name, the best interests of your fam
lily, or your soul; for if you do, you
are cheated for time and cheated for
eternity. Don't get cheated.

A WOLF BOY.
From the Bombay Guardian.


Some natives travelling by some
untrequented part of the jungle in
the Bulandshahr district were sur
prlsed to see small boy of five or
six years old crawling about on
hands and feet. On drawing near
they were amazed to see the boy dis
appear quickly within the interior of
a large hole, which, on closer inspec-
ton, turned out to be the dwelling
plade of some wild beast. They re-
ported the occurrence to the magis-
trate sahib Of Bulandshahr, who dis,
patched messengers to the spot with
instructions to light a fire at the
mouth OF the cave. This was done,
and on the binding fumes making
their way into the farthest corner of
the hole, snarling she-wolf sprang
forth with bound. A moment la
ter the boy, too, came forth, when he
fell an easy prey to those intent on
securing him. On conveying him to
the magistrate the boy was found to
be speeches., imbecile, and as near
an approach to an animal as a human
being can possibly be. Vegetable
food was offered to him, but this he
refused, and it was only when meat
was placed before him that he would
eat. In the orphanage he soon learn
ed to walk upright, partake of veget-
able food and to wear clothing. All
attempts to teach him to speak have
been fruitless, and he is void of or
binary reason, though not altogether
unintelligent.

SECRETS OF THE CONFESSIONAL.

Never, he said, since the institu

a priest been known to disclose that

conft ssional. Scoffers at religion
have made priests drunk for the
purpose of loosing their tongues up
on the confession. Priests have be-

come insane. But never has it been
